The Connector for Lattermass Screw (Code No. 819) is a specialized coupling component used in a modular spinal fixation system. Its primary function is to create a secure connection between the Lattermass Poly Screw (Code No. 804/805) and a spinal rod or other system elements. The design allows the surgeon to link the screw head to the rod, often in complex anatomical areas like the lateral mass of the cervical spine, where a standard screw/rod connection may not be feasible. It provides flexibility in positioning and connecting hardware components.
Key features include:
-
Connecting Component: Used to link the Lattermass Poly Screw to a spinal rod.
-
Modular Design: Essential for building a custom spinal construct in challenging anatomical regions.
-
Primary Use: Cervical or Thoracic spine fixation systems utilizing the Lattermass Screw.
-
Size Variations: Available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes to accommodate different rod diameters or offsets.
-
Material: Implied Titanium (common for spinal implants).
